Computational Medicine Professor Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Description
The Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences and the Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin have an opening for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position in Computational Medicine. We are particularly interested in recruiting a colleague whose research program combines mathematical, computational, and physical approaches to solving problems in medicine. Example areas include, but are not limited to, medical imaging, neurology, pediatrics, psychiatry, cardiovascular science, and oncology.
The Oden Institute (https://www.oden.utexas.edu/) is a unique interdisciplinary research and educational organization focused on transforming science, engineering, and medicine through the development and application of computation. Research programs at the Oden Institute are diverse and build upon the mathematical foundations for predictive science, data science, machine learning, and (in particular) physics-based modeling using state-of-the-art computing platforms. The Oden Institute also has strong partnerships with medical institutions across Texas, including MD Anderson Cancer Center, UT Southwestern Medical Center, the Texas Heart Institute, and Health Science Centers at Houston and San Antonio.
The Dell Medical School (https://dellmed.utexas.edu/) is the anchor of The University of Texas at Austin Medical Center. The medical center will feature a new, state-of-the-art hospital at the southern edge of UT Austin's campus. When combined with the Dell Medical School's established reputation for innovation in medical education and the world-renowned research base at UT Austin, the UT Austin Medical Center provides the setting to position Austin as a premier destination for healthcare. The successful candidate will have the unique opportunity to bridge an established research institute with a growing medical school and a new world-class medical center.
This position is open to applicants at all ranks: assistant, associate, and full professor, including the possibility of appointment as a chaired professor for candidates with exceptional qualifications. The candidate will be jointly appointed in the Oden Institute and the Dell Medical School. The successful candidate will have teaching duties in the Oden Institute's Computational Science, Engineering and Mathematics graduate program and will be expected to participate in training and mentoring of medical students, residents and fellows at Dell Medical School.
Qualifications
Candidates must have a Ph.D. degree in a quantitative science or engineering discipline, or an MD/Ph.D., with an outstanding record of research accomplishments, publications, and external funding commensurate with their academic stage. In addition, a track-record of innovative application of computational methods and/or AI/ML to medicine and health or medically relevant biological problems is highly desirable. The successful candidate must be qualified to teach graduate classes in the area of computational science, engineering and mathematics. More established candidates are also expected to have a successful record of mentoring leaders in computational medicine and a commitment to professional service. The successful applicant will be expected to develop an externally sponsored research program, mentor graduate students, collaborate with other faculty, and be involved in service to the university and profession.
Application Instructions
Interested applicants should submit the following materials: (1) a cover letter, (2) curriculum vitae, (3) research statement (max 4 pages), and (4) teaching statement (max 2 pages). Additionally, (5) candidates for an assistant or associate professor position must include three reference letters as part of their application packet. Candidates for full professor must provide a list of three reference names but will not submit reference letters.
Candidates should address their submission to the Computational Medicine Faculty Search Committee. Review of applications will continue until an appropriate candidate is identified.
The successful candidate will be required to complete an Employment Eligibility Verification form and provide documents to verify identity and eligibility to work in the USA. A security sensitive background check will be conducted on the applicant selected.
Please address questions to Professor Taylor (taylorca@utexas.edu) or Professor Yankeelov (thomas.yankeelov@utexas.edu), Computational Medicine Faculty Search Committee Co-Chairs. For application questions, contact Ruth Park (ruth.park@oden.utexas.edu).
